Ticket sales for the Great American Beer Festival® 2018 have been announced. Tickets to the 2017 event sold out in about four hours, so you’ll want to set that calendar alert now so you don’t miss the opportunity for tickets this year.

The Great American Beer Festival (GABF) returns to Denver Sept. 20 through Sept. 22 for the event’s 37th annual celebration.
